Being my second trip to Lahaul-Spiti, I wanted my girlfriend of many years and wife of 3 months to see why i kept talking about Lahaul the way i never did about any other place I have ever been to (ladakh included)....

Visit Gue, about 40 kilometers away from Tabo, to be stupefied by the 500-year-old mummy of a monk, preserved in sitting position; the mummy, discovered by the villagers when an earthquake struck the region, still has its hair intact and is in mint condition for its age....

The mummy is found in a tomb in Gue, one of the remotest village of Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh. The villagers came to know about the mummy after a part of the tomb broke down due to the earthquake of 1975.
